The Force Is With Me



With the release of Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker as well as The Mandalorian and baby Yoda, there has been a lot of fanfare surrounding Star Wars.  After finishing the first season of The Mandalorian, I caught the Star Wars fever and decided to watch the Star Wars films from the beginning.  As bad as Jar Jar and the CGI was in Episode 1, I enjoyed episodes 2 and 3.  Actually, I don't think I ever watched episode 3 until now. 

I had seen episodes 4 and 5 on numerous occasions, but I think I only saw episode 6 once or twice so it was mostly new to me, minus the ewoks.  I enjoyed episode 7 quite a bit but thought episode 8 was just OK.  I will likely wait for episode 9 to come to Disney+ before watching.

We got Disney+ for the kids, naturally. Disney+ opens up a ton of Star Wars content that I have never seen before.  After finishing episode 8, I wanted to see more.  I enjoyed the Clone Wars and stories around Anakin and Obi Wan so I decided to watch the animated series.  Plus, I read where it ties into the Mandalorian's story at some point.  I wasn't sure of my commitment of 6 seasons at first.   The first few episodes I thought were just OK, but they are getting better as season 1 progresses and I'm pretty much hooked now.  It is extra motivation that the final season is being released soon and the trailer looks awesome!
